What should PP do if GB change its timezone to +1 hour?
Hallo!
This morning radio news reported that Great Britain's government is in process of considering the possibility to change its timezone to European Common Time (not sure if i'm correct in determination). This means +1 hour to make days longer.
This will affect all the watch industry as well as PP's World Time Watches. What do you think about technical possibilities to change the dials on WT watches such as 5110, 5130 and (OMG!) 5131?
Best wishes,
Dennis

"government is in process of considering the possibility to change..." i can't speak for GB, but at least in switzerland, it almost takes forever for the government to draft -not to mention implement- any changes. so i would not bother too much about that...
Look at Caracas...
Caracas changed. Patek Philippe didn't change its world time watch.
Yes correct, and Lange replaced Caracas by Santiago.
Maybe at Patek they believe that within a few years, Venezuala will come back to the previous timezone ? Fr.Xavier
Yup! But oddly...
Yup, Lange acted quite quickly and made the change promptly. However, I did see a Lange One Timezone in rose gold with a Caracas timezone at an AD a few months ago. The ironic part is that there was a white gold Buenos Aires edition right next to it with ...
